The
Podcast Riddle is a URL-completion type of game, similar in
concept to the
Mazito
series of Internet riddles that you may have already played. However, instead of solving
puzzles/riddles that advance you from one web page to another, the
Podcast Riddle's solutions advance you from one podcast
segment to another.

Each segment of the podcast is identified by a two-digit number. Once you've figured out the
answer to a given segment's puzzle/riddle, the URL for the next segment will always be of the
form:

www.freewebs.com/podgame/segnum-answer.mp3

where
"segnum"
is the segment number that you are trying to access, and
"answer"
is the answer that you hope will get you to that segment.

[Note: The segment ID
numbers do not necessarily occur in numerical order. So don't be alarmed when you find
that those numbers jump up and down as you progress linearly through the different "levels"
of the game. And you may also discover that the degree of difficulty of the puzzles/riddles
is somewhat random as well. Relatively "easy" questions occur even late in the game.]

Some segments may require you to
access auxiliary information (such as a JPEG image, etc.). When you are told that
such an auxiliary file exists you can access it by simply changing the
"mp3"
extension of the current segment's URL to whatever the announcer tells you.

As usual, the rules for specifing the answer to each segment's puzzle/riddle are very simple:

Every answer consists of only one word (or number).

Use only digits(0-9) when specifying numerical answers.

Use only lower case letters(a-z) when specifying
non-numerical answers.

Do not include any kind of punctuation symbols in your answer.

For example, suppose that the question for accessing segment number
49,
is:

"What is the capital city of France?"

In that case, you would specify the URL:

www.freewebs.com/podgame/49-paris.mp3

See? It's as easy as that!

Well... don't just sit there twiddling your thumbs!

NOTE: Just as in most of Mr. Logic's games, none of the Podcast Riddle's
puzzles require the use of any third-party software (such as Photoshop,
etc.) in order to be solved. Any software tools that you might need can
be found in the Accessories folder on every "standard" Windows computer.

Mr. Logic's
IQ Question

In the following group of images, which one does not belong in the group?

Want to have fun creating your own secret coded messages?
Just download our SiMPLE
encrypter/decrypter program (called "Secret") and save it onto your desktop.
(No installationis required.)
Then drop any text file onto "Secret".
It will automatically encrypt the message contained in that file.
[The name of the file containing the encrypted message will begin witha plus ( + ) sign.]

To decrypt the message, just drop the file containing the encrypted message back onto "Secret".
The decrypted message will then be returned to you in a file that has the same name that the encrypted file had,
but without the plus ( + ) sign.

(Tell all your friends to download their own copy of "Secret",and then have fun exchanging secret messages with them!)

Secret Joke #12

Instructions for Decrypting the Secret Joke:

Copy and paste the entire encrypted joke into a new text document whose name
begins with a plus sign followed by one or more letters (e.g., "+joke.txt").
Then drop that text document onto your copy of "Secret".
